Luke 7

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 When he had finished all his words to the people, he entered Capernaum.	1 Cum autem implesset omnia verba sua in aures plebis, intra vitCapharnaum.
2 A centurion there had a slave who was ill and about to die, and he was valuable to him.	2 Centurionis autem cuiusdam servus male habens erat moriturus, quiilli erat pretiosus.
3 When he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and save the life of his slave.	3 Et cum audisset de Iesu, misit ad eum seniores Iudaeorumrogans eum, ut veniret et salvaret servum eius.
4 They approached Jesus and strongly urged him to come, saying, "He deserves to have you do this for him,	4 At illi cum venissent adIesum, rogabant eum sollicite dicentes: “ Dignus est, ut hoc illi praestes:
5 for he loves our nation and he built the synagogue for us."	5 diligit enim gentem nostram et synagogam ipse aedificavit nobis ”.
6 And Jesus went with them, but when he was only a short distance from the house, the centurion sent friends to tell him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof.	6 Iesusautem ibat cum illis. At cum iam non longe esset a domo, misit centurio amicosdicens ei: “ Domine, noli vexari; non enim dignus sum, ut sub tectum meumintres,
7 Therefore, I did not consider myself worthy to come to you; but say the word and let my servant be healed.	7 propter quod et meipsum non sum dignum arbitratus, ut venirem ad te;sed dic verbo, et sanetur puer meus.
8 For I too am a person subject to authority, with soldiers subject to me. And I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come here,' and he comes; and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it."	8 Nam et ego homo sum sub potestateconstitutus, habens sub me milites, et dico huic: “Vade”, et vadit; et alii:“Veni”, et venit; et servo meo: “Fac hoc”, et facit ”.
9 When Jesus heard this he was amazed at him and, turning, said to the crowd following him, "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith."	9 Quo audito,Iesus miratus est eum et conversus sequentibus se turbis dixit: “ Dico vobis,nec in Israel tantam fidem inveni! ”.
10 When the messengers returned to the house, they found the slave in good health.	10 Et reversi, qui missi fuerant, domum,invenerunt servum sanum.
11 Soon afterward he journeyed to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd accompanied him.	11 Et factum est, deinceps ivit in civitatem, quae vocatur Naim, et ibant cumillo discipuli eius et turba copiosa.
12 As he drew near to the gate of the city, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. A large crowd from the city was with her.	12 Cum autem appropinquaret portaecivitatis, et ecce defunctus efferebatur filius unicus matri suae; et haec viduaerat, et turba civitatis multa cum illa.
13 When the Lord saw her, he was moved with pity for her and said to her, "Do not weep."	13 Quam cum vidisset Dominus,misericordia motus super ea dixit illi: “ Noli flere! ”.
14 He stepped forward and touched the coffin; at this the bearers halted, and he said, "Young man, I tell you, arise!"	14 Et accessit ettetigit loculum; hi autem, qui portabant, steterunt. Et ait: “ Adulescens,tibi dico: Surge! ”.
15 The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.	15 Et resedit, qui erat mortuus, et coepit loqui; etdedit illum matri suae.
16 Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, exclaiming, "A great prophet has arisen in our midst," and "God has visited his people."	16 Accepit autem omnes timor, et magnificabant Deumdicentes: “ Propheta magnus surrexit in nobis ” et: “ Deus visitavitplebem suam ”.
17 This report about him spread through the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.	17 Et exiit hic sermo in universam Iudaeam de eo et omnem circaregionem.
18 The disciples of John told him about all these things. John summoned two of his disciples	18 Et nuntiaverunt Ioanni discipuli eius de omnibus his.
19 and sent them to the Lord to ask, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?"	19 Et convocavit duosde discipulis suis Ioannes et misit ad Dominum dicens: “ Tu es qui venturuses, an alium exspectamus? ”.
20 When the men came to him, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask, 'Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?'"	20 Cum autem venissent ad eum viri, dixerunt: “Ioannes Baptista misit nos ad te dicens: “Tu es qui venturus es, an aliumexspectamus?” ”.
21 At that time he cured many of their diseases, sufferings, and evil spirits; he also granted sight to many who were blind.	21 In ipsa hora curavit multos a languoribus et plagis etspiritibus malis et caecis multis donavit visum.
22 And he said to them in reply, "Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the good news proclaimed to them.	22 Et respondens dixit illis:“ Euntes nuntiate Ioanni, quae vidistis et audistis: caeci vident, claudiambulant, leprosi mundantur et surdi audiunt, mortui resurgunt, pauperesevangelizantur;
23 And blessed is the one who takes no offense at me."	23 et beatus est, quicumque non fuerit scandalizatus in me ”.
24 When the messengers of John had left, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John. "What did you go out to the desert to see--a reed swayed by the wind?	24 Et cum discessissent nuntii Ioannis, coepit dicere de Ioanne ad turbas: “Quid existis in desertum videre? Arundinem vento moveri?
25 Then what did you go out to see? Someone dressed in fine garments? Those who dress luxuriously and live sumptuously are found in royal palaces.	25 Sed quid existisvidere? Hominem mollibus vestimentis indutum? Ecce, qui in veste pretiosa suntet deliciis, in domibus regum sunt.
26 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.	26 Sed quid existis videre? Prophetam?Utique, dico vobis, et plus quam prophetam.
27 This is the one about whom scripture says: 'Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, he will prepare your way before you.'	27 Hic est, de quo scriptum est: “Ecce mitto angelum meum ante faciem tuam, qui praeparabit viam tuam ante te”.
28 I tell you, among those born of women, no one is greater than John; yet the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he."	28 Dico vobis: Maior inter natos mulierum Ioanne nemo est; qui autem minor estin regno Dei, maior est illo.
29 (All the people who listened, including the tax collectors, and who were baptized with the baptism of John, acknowledged the righteousness of God;	29 Et omnis populus audiens et publicaniiustificaverunt Deum, baptizati baptismo Ioannis;
30 but the Pharisees and scholars of the law, who were not baptized by him, rejected the plan of God for themselves.)	30 pharisaei autem et legisperiti consilium Dei spreverunt in semetipsos, non baptizati ab eo.
31 "Then to what shall I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?	31 Cui ergo similes dicam homines generationis huius, et cui similes sunt?
32 They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, 'We played the flute for you, but you did not dance. We sang a dirge, but you did not weep.'	32 Similes sunt pueris sedentibus in foro et loquentibus ad invicem, quod dicit: “Cantavimus vobis tibiis, et non saltastis; lamentavimus, et non plorastis!”.
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating food nor drinking wine, and you said, 'He is possessed by a demon.'	33 Venit enim Ioannes Baptista neque manducans panem neque bibens vinum, etdicitis: “Daemonium habet!”;
34 The Son of Man came eating and drinking and you said, 'Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.'	34 venit Filius hominis manducans et bibens, etdicitis: “Ecce homo devorator et bibens vinum, amicus publicanorum etpeccatorum!”.
35 But wisdom is vindicated by all her children."	35 Et iustificata est sapientia ab omnibus filiis suis ”.
36 A Pharisee invited him to dine with him, and he entered the Pharisee's house and reclined at table.	36 Rogabat autem illum quidam de pharisaeis, ut manducaret cum illo; etingressus domum pharisaei discubuit.
37 Now there was a sinful woman in the city who learned that he was at table in the house of the Pharisee. Bringing an alabaster flask of ointment,	37 Et ecce mulier, quae erat in civitatepeccatrix, ut cognovit quod accubuit in domo pharisaei, attulit alabastrumunguenti;
38 she stood behind him at his feet weeping and began to bathe his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them, and anointed them with the ointment.	38 et stans retro secus pedes eius flens lacrimis coepit rigare pedeseius et capillis capitis sui tergebat, et osculabatur pedes eius et unguentoungebat.
39 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would know who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, that she is a sinner."	39 Videns autem pharisaeus, qui vocaverat eum, ait intra se dicens: “ Hic siesset propheta, sciret utique quae et qualis mulier, quae tangit eum, quiapeccatrix est ”.
40 Jesus said to him in reply, "Simon, I have something to say to you." "Tell me, teacher," he said.	40 Et respondens Iesus dixit ad illum: “ Simon, habeo tibialiquid dicere ”. At ille ait: “ Magister, dic ”.
41 "Two people were in debt to a certain creditor; one owed five hundred days' wages and the other owed fifty.	41 “ Duo debitoreserant cuidam feneratori: unus debebat denarios quingentos, alius quinquaginta.
42 Since they were unable to repay the debt, he forgave it for both. Which of them will love him more?"	42 Non habentibus illis, unde redderent, donavit utrisque. Quis ergo eorum plusdiliget eum? ”.
43 Simon said in reply, "The one, I suppose, whose larger debt was forgiven." He said to him, "You have judged rightly."	43 Respondens Simon dixit: “ Aestimo quia is, cui plusdonavit ”. At ille dixit ei: “ Recte iudicasti ”.
44 Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give me water for my feet, but she has bathed them with her tears and wiped them with her hair.	44 Et conversus admulierem, dixit Simoni: “ Vides hanc mulierem? Intravi in domum tuam: aquampedibus meis non dedisti; haec autem lacrimis rigavit pedes meos et capillissuis tersit.
45 You did not give me a kiss, but she has not ceased kissing my feet since the time I entered.	45 Osculum mihi non dedisti; haec autem, ex quo intravi, noncessavit osculari pedes meos.
46 You did not anoint my head with oil, but she anointed my feet with ointment.	46 Oleo caput meum non unxisti; haec autemunguento unxit pedes meos.
47 So I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven; hence, she has shown great love. But the one to whom little is forgiven, loves little."	47 Propter quod dico tibi: Remissa sunt peccata eiusmulta, quoniam dilexit multum; cui autem minus dimittitur, minus diligit ”.
48 He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."	48 Dixit autem ad illam: “ Remissa sunt peccata tua ”.
49 The others at table said to themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?"	49 Et coeperunt, quisimul accumbebant, dicere intra se: “ Quis est hic, qui etiam peccatadimittit?”.
50 But he said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."	50 Dixit autem ad mulierem: “ Fides tua te salvam fecit; vade inpace! ”.
